Frankfurt Skyline
Unbeatable views of the financial district's skyscrapers when departing to the west.
Taunus Mountains
The northern ridges featuring the Großer Feldberg, the highest peak in the range.
Deutsches Eck
The iconic meeting point of the Rhine and Moselle rivers at Koblenz.
Aachen & Maastricht
The dense urban clusters where Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands meet.
The Atomium
On certain northern approaches to BRU, the silver spheres of the Atomium are visible in the distance.
The Frankfurt skyline view is brief; have your camera ready immediately after wheels-up. This side provides better visibility of the Rhine Valley's northern reaches. For the best photography, a window seat ahead of the wing is recommended to avoid engine heat blur.
Book Hotels in Brussels
Mainz & Wiesbaden
The twin state capitals on opposite banks of the Rhine river shortly after takeoff.
Hunsrück Forest
Rolling green hills and dense forests of the German Central Uplands.
ICE High-Speed Track
The sleek white line of the Frankfurt-Cologne high-speed railway cutting through the landscape.
Liège Basin
The industrial landscape and dramatic river bends of the Meuse in eastern Belgium.
Waterloo Mound
The Lion's Mound and historic 1815 battlefield often visible during southern arrival patterns.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly good for spotting the distinct geography of the Walloon region and the Meuse River. During winter, the frost-covered Hunsrück mountains provide excellent contrast.
